10 Celebrities Who Suffer From OCD

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s obsessive-compulsive tendencies first became apparent when he was a child, as he was constantly forcing himself to step on every gum stain he saw on the sidewalk while avoiding cracks. With time, he managed to overcome that compulsion for the most part, but he admits that it sometimes comes back to plague him. DiCaprio actually used his OCD tendencies when he played Howard Hughes in "The Aviator," as Hughes had some pretty serious germaphobia and would only make physical contact with specially selected Mormon aides.
